Towards S foot of a low hill with a small stream immediately to S. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1932) as a vaguely subrectangular enclosure (NW-SE c. 80m, E-W c. 75m). Since levelled and all that is now visible is a very faint roughly square platform (N-S 50m, E-W 50m, H 0.5m) standing slightly above the surrounding poorly drained ground. The monument is cut by a field wall at N and S. Possibly a ringfort though its morphology and location also suggest a moated site.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
